Chapter 703 As Expected

early morning.

The sun rises slowly.

On the bed, a pretty figure slowly opened her eyes.

"woke up?"

A soft and playful voice came to my ears.

When Xie Wan'er opened her eyes, she saw a familiar figure beside her, staring at her with a smile but not a smile.

The girl's instinctive shyness made her face turn slightly red, and she subconsciously tightened the quilt around her body. Then she realized something and said angrily, "What are you doing?"

"Hey, do you have a bad temper when you wake up early in the morning?"

Li Beifeng smiled and said, "What? Didn't you sleep well?"

Hearing this, Xie Waner's face turned even redder.

This bastard, last night...

Does he still have the nerve to say it? !

"Shut up!"

She turned away from the guy.

However, Li Beifeng hugged her from behind.

Xie Wan'er struggled: "Let me go."

"Don't let go!"

"I'm going to get up!"

"I'm already up."

"..."

Half an hour later.

Li Beifeng felt refreshed now, stood up and dressed leisurely.

After getting dressed, I turned around and saw Xie Wan'er still lying on the bed, curled up into a ball.

There was a healthy flush on her plain white face.

His breathing was slightly rapid, his eyes were half-closed, and he seemed to have not recovered yet.

"Get up!"

Li Beifeng picked up the delicate bellyband left on the ground and threw it to her.

When Xie Wan'er saw this, her face turned even redder, and she quickly got out a jade-white arm from the quilt, and quickly grabbed the bellyband on the quilt back into the quilt.

Then he covered his face with a quilt and said angrily, "Get out!"

Li Beifeng watched this scene happily. He liked seeing her look so ashamed and angry.

Obviously the relationship between the two has reached this point, but she still can't let go.

Hmm...how to describe it?

Want to refuse or welcome?

Very apt!

"Then I'll go out first!"

Li Beifeng said with a smile, then opened the door and left with satisfaction.

Outside the door, Lu'er stood at the door with a slightly red face.

Seeing Li Beifeng appear, his face turned slightly red and he lowered his head: "Master, breakfast is ready!"

"Um!"

Li Beifeng nodded, turned and left.

Lobby.

When Li Beifeng rushed to the lobby, a beautiful figure was sitting there, waiting for him for a long time.

Li Beifeng came closer and sat down. The maid beside him quickly brought breakfast.

Beside him, Zhou Qiuning glanced at him, looking up and down with her beautiful eyes for a moment, seeming to notice something, and then said meaningfully: "His Royal Highness is really busy with everything, is he so busy this early in the morning?"

She especially emphasized the word "日", obviously she saw something.

Li Beifeng didn't blush at all and said calmly: "Morning exercise!"

"puff……"

The sip of water Zhou Qiuning just held in her mouth almost spurted out.

Then, he glared at him angrily and wiped it gently with a towel.

"I still underestimate you!"

Zhou Qiuning sighed lightly, then glanced at him again, her beautiful eyes gradually becoming playful: "Can I ask a question?"

"cannot."

Li Beifeng refused without thinking. Her question was probably not a good one.

However, Li Beifeng's refusal could not stop her curiosity. She blinked her beautiful eyes, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and asked narrowly: "What is it like to sleep with someone else's queen?"

Sure enough, it’s not a good question!

Li Beifeng glanced at her: "Are you curious?"

"certainly!"

Zhou Qiuning raised her lips slightly, seeming to be very interested: "As the only daughter of the Xie family in Sunset City, she has been reading poetry and books since she was a child, and is familiar with music, chess, calligraphy and painting... Back then, when the Northern Qi Dynasty fell, the Xie family took refuge in Dazhao. In order to control Dazhao, Beizhou has also made many transactions with the Xie family!”

"And she... Xie Wan'er has been raised as a princess since she was a child. Whether it is appearance, temperament or talent, she can be said to be one of a million, impeccable!"

Zhou Qiuning played with the taste: "You are the queen who is so gentle, dignified and majestic, and you have tricked her into sleeping on the bed... I am very curious, is it exciting?"

Li Beifeng glanced at her lightly: "Would you know if you try it yourself?"

"It's a pity that I'm not a man!"

Zhou Qiuning's red lips parted slightly, and her beautiful eyes were full of smiles: "If not, I really want to try...what does it feel like to be a queen?"

"No, you can."

Li Beifeng shook his head slightly and asked calmly: "Who said that things can't be different between women?"

Zhou Qiuning: "..."

"..."

Obviously, the amount of information in Li Beifeng's words was quite large, and his level of enlightenment far exceeded Zhou Qiuning's imagination.

Therefore, Zhou Qiuning briefly fell into a life of doubt.

Between women... is that okay? !

? ? ?

After a brief moment of astonishment, Zhou Qiuning gradually came back to her senses after looking at Li Beifeng's calm look, and looked at him with a strange look: "I didn't expect that you actually have this kind of... hobby?"

Li Beifeng remained silent. It was difficult for people of a different era to discuss such a sacred issue.

"You should already know what's going on in the Jokhang Palace, right?"

At this time, Zhou Qiuning changed the topic again, glanced at him, and a smile appeared on his face again: "As expected, your worries... came true!"

Zhou Qiuning has lived here these days.

She was casual and had no fixed place to live.

But even if she lived here, she still had channels to get news from the outside world.

And what happened in Dazhao in the past few days was indeed like an earthquake, which set off a shocking wave outside.

First of all, a few days ago, the news that Emperor Zhao had "resurrected from the dead" spread in the palace, and this news directly shocked the entire capital. Then, the evidence of Zhao Jing's murder of the emperor and his father was announced to the world.

For a time, everyone in the capital shouted and beat Zhao Jing, and the condemnation of Zhao Jing was extremely strong.

Killing the emperor and killing the father is an unforgivable crime. Zhao Jing's reputation almost fell to the bottom at the first time, and he would never be able to turn over.

And Emperor Zhao took the opportunity to depose Zhao Jing, and then announced his restoration and sat on the throne of the emperor of Dazhao again.

Then, he launched a reckoning of the Dazhao court! Countless ministers fell from their horses, were demoted or deposed and beheaded, and the court was in turmoil.

But the common people applauded!

Since Prince Zhaonan rebelled, the people's trust in the court of Dazhao has been declining day by day. Not only the people, but also many people in the army have lost confidence in the court.

The entire Dazhao court is in a state of turmoil, and it seems that a little disturbance can cause it to collapse.

At present, the "resurrection" of Emperor Zhao, the dethronement of Zhao Jing, and a series of actions to rectify the court have made countless people applaud.

The people don't care whether the ministers of the court are bad people or not. As long as the powerful ministers are caught, it is a happy thing for the people.

Under such thundering means, Emperor Zhao quickly won the trust of the people and boosted the morale of the army.

At the same time, the news of Emperor Zhao's restoration was almost a devastating blow to the troops of Prince Zhaonan in the Jiangnan region.

The excuse for Prince Zhaonan's rebellion before was to clear the court and restore the Dazhao.

Now, Emperor Zhao has "resurrected" and cleared the court himself. As a result, the rebel army of Prince Zhaonan, who originally had a legitimate reason, was immediately put on the fire!

If he continued to send troops, wouldn't he be convicted of treason? !

However, Prince Zhaonan also knew that now that he had reached this point, he had no way back.

He couldn't afford to go back!

Even if he stopped at this point, it would not be a good end for him. He knew his brother too well, and he would not give himself a second chance.

Therefore, even if he knew that the situation was over, he had no choice.

On the second day after Emperor Zhao announced his restoration, Prince Zhaonan once again led the rebel army to attack the imperial army.

At the same time, the version circulated in the Jiangnan region also quietly changed.

"..."

"Is Emperor Zhao a fake?!"

After learning the version circulated in the Jiangnan region, Li Beifeng was also stunned for a while.

After that, he gradually came to his senses.

The person who was most reluctant to see Emperor Zhao's 'resurrection' and restoration must be Prince Zhaonan!

Now that he has no excuse to purge the court, he can only start from other aspects. If he turns Emperor Zhao into a "fake" emperor, everything will be in order again.

Why would the emperor who has been murdered be resurrected?

Is there any conspiracy?

Is it a conspiracy by the cunning treacherous officials of the Zhao Dynasty who have lost the support of the people?

Conspiracy theory is always the best way to deceive ignorant people.

After all, Emperor Zhao's death has long been known to the world. Now there is another "resurrection", and few people in the world will believe it.

Therefore, the news that Emperor Zhao is a fake naturally spread among the people. In addition, Prince Zhaonan deliberately fanned the flames behind the scenes, and the news became more and more intense again!

"Your Majesty must be a fake. Emperor Zhao is dead. How could he be resurrected?"

"It must be that Zhao Jing saw that he had lost the support of the people, so he created a puppet and controlled everything behind the scenes..."

"That dog emperor killed the emperor and his father, and now he wants to deceive us? Dog emperor, step down and abdicate quickly!!"

"..."

No matter what the truth is, the world is indeed more chaotic!

Various versions of the news are circulating, and it is a hot topic.

But for Li Beifeng, this is definitely not good news. The development of things has gradually deviated from his original expectations.

"Emperor Zhao ascended the throne and restored his position, so what about her?"

Zhou Qiuning sat at the table, propped up his chin, looked at him, and smiled: "I originally thought that after he dealt with Zhao Jing and the court, he would push her out and let her control the court. But from all the signs now..."

"You are all wrong!"

The smile on Zhou Qiuning's face gradually faded: "You all seem to have been fooled!"

Li Beifeng's cold face was expressionless.

The plan was indeed beyond his expectations.

The most worried thing happened!

Emperor Zhao ascended the throne again, what about her?

Emperor Zhao did not hand over power to Zhao Ying as expected, but regained the power of the court.

All this is different from what expected.

"Or... now the court of Dazhao is in chaos, and Emperor Zhao is worried that she can't control it, so he ascended the throne to stabilize the situation for the time being, and wait until the world is peaceful in the future, and then hand the throne to her?"

Zhou Qiu Ning had a strange smile on her face: "After all, now that Zhao Jing has been deposed, she is the only one who can inherit the throne in the Dazhao royal family..."

"Of course, it is not ruled out that Emperor Zhao will choose an heir from the bloodline of the collateral royal family. Or... give birth to a son again?"

Emperor Zhao is only in his forties this year and is in his prime. Logically speaking, having another child is not a problem, but...

Li Beifeng remained silent and did not speak.

"I'm stuffed!"

Zhou Qiuning stood up slowly, stretched out as if lazily, and her black hair slowly fell down. The beautiful woman glanced at Li Beifeng and said calmly: "How to choose is between you and her. If Emperor Zhao really deceived you, I think this is not good news..."

"You and her should have a serious discussion!"

After saying that, she turned and left.

Li Beifeng sat where he was, his eyes slightly darkened.

Then, he also left.

…

Jokhang Palace.

Deep inside the palace.

Emperor Zhao, wearing a dragon robe, stood quietly in the health palace.

Everything around him seemed so familiar, and he felt vaguely in a trance.

Then, Emperor Zhao turned around and came to the back of the Yangsheng Hall.

Behind the palace, there is a hidden secret room.

Emperor Zhao stopped outside the secret room door and said in a deep voice: "I don't understand something!"

In the secret room, an old voice came: "What is your Majesty puzzled about?"

"You should know."

There was silence in the secret room for a long time, and he sighed quietly.

"Your Majesty, come in first!"

"..."

Outside the palace, there is a residence.

A figure sat quietly on the roof of the eaves, looking up at the scenery in the distance.

The clothes are as white as snow and as clear as jade.

Not long after, another figure also climbed onto the roof.

"I knew you'd be here."

Li Beifeng climbed up with difficulty, came to her side, and sat down.

Then, he glanced back at her: "How are you feeling?"

Zhao Ying remained silent and did not answer.

"Your father lied to you!"

Li Beifeng looked at her side face calmly and said softly: "He did not hand over the throne of Jozhao to you."

"I know."

Zhao Ying nodded calmly.

"Are you angry?"

"No."

"Why?" Li Beifeng was a little surprised.

"Expected."

Zhao Ying said calmly.

Li Beifeng seemed a little surprised: "Why?"

Zhao Ying looked into the distance and said calmly: "Now our country is experiencing internal and external troubles. The emperor's uncle's rebellion has not yet been put down, and the factions in the palace have not yet been controlled. The most important thing to do right now is to stabilize the court, make the monarch and ministers work together, and eradicate dissidents..."

At this point, Zhao Ying glanced at him again: "After all, I am a daughter. If I rashly take power and ascend the throne now, I will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people in the world. I may give excuses to the emperor's uncle, and the gain will not be worth the loss!"

After hearing this, Li Beifeng stared at her face for a long time, and then suddenly said: "Is this your intention? Or is it your father's intention?"

Zhao Ying looked calm and did not answer.

"Aren't you afraid that your father is using you and deceiving you?"

Li Beifeng spoke.

"Why did your father lie to me?" Zhao Ying asked.

"He didn't want to hand over the throne to you at all. What if he was just using you?" Li Beifeng narrowed his eyes and asked.

Zhao Ying was silent for a long time, looked into the distance, and said calmly: "If my father can solve the current predicament of Dazhao, calm down the war, and make the people of the world return to their hearts... Even if you use me, then what's the problem?"

Hearing this, for some reason, Li Beifeng felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"What about our previous agreement?"

Li Beifeng stared into her eyes and asked.

"..."
